realized I could have that same level of accomplishment, fulfillment, and joy in every part of my life.”

why people recommend The Landmark Forum to their associates, friends and relatives.”
- Daniel Yankelovich, Noted Social Scientist and Public Opinion Analyst
“As a person whose life is about global issues, I can’t think of a more effective training program. One

any business is people.”

MarketData Enterprises, Inc., in their 2017 report on the self-improvement industry, stated that
Landmark is recognized for having “one of the best faculty bodies in the business.”
The Talent Foundation, a global, nonprofit research organization, did an independent study of
Landmark. The Foundation, based in London, provides practical and innovative answers for the
development of talent in businesses and organizations and conducts independent research studies
for academic institutions around the world. The study examined a quality called “readiness to learn”
found to be critical to an individual's overall success. The Foundation investigated this quality’s
effect on employee motivation and performance.
The Talent Foundation studied training programs with a reputation for impacting productivity,
effectiveness and attitudes toward work. The study looked at their impact on productivity in the
workplace, especially in the ability of employees to grow and learn. The Talent Foundation Study
included participants in The Landmark Forum and a control group of similar people who had had no
such training. The study’s findings include:
• “Within two years of participating in The Landmark Forum, individuals showed significantly
higher levels of motivation, self-esteem and confidence in relation to their learning” – factors
considered key to the continuous adaptation and flexibility of the work force.
• More than two-thirds of Landmark Forum participants saw training as beneficial both to
themselves and their employers, while less than half of the control group shared this view.
• 88% of Landmark Forum participants generally perceived learning to be fun vs. 64% of the
control group.
• 62% of Landmark Forum participants felt they had a higher level of self awareness compared to
43% of the control group.
• Approximately 66% of the participants in The Landmark Forum felt they could make “a unique
and valuable contribution at work,” compared to 33% of the control group.
• Landmark graduates were four times more confident that they make a difference at work.

world, conducted two studies on behalf of Landmark:
The Harris Study on the impact of The Landmark Forum on people’s attitude towards money and
on their incomes found that 7 out of 10 Landmark Forum participants said they now worry less
about money, and 6 out of 10 said they are more effective in managing their money. The study
also found that participants in The Landmark Forum increased their incomes by 25% or more. For
perspective, the average national income growth for the people in the survey was less than 2%
per year in middle-income households. The study found that 36% of participants reported their
income increased 25% or more within three years of completing The Landmark Forum.
Some of what the participants said to account for their dramatic increases in income:
• “I was more focused, less distracted and more self-motivated.”
• “I realized my time was worth more, and I was better educated than what I was doing.”
• “I felt confident enough to request more.”
• “Clear communication helped in getting this raise and bonus.”
• “I considered myself more valuable and asked for more money.”
Harris Study of Health Professionals and Educators
Harris Interactive® conducted an independent survey on behalf of Landmark of health
professionals and educators (including doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, teachers and
academicians) who have taken Landmark programs. The results show that 94% agree that
Landmark’s programs are professionally conducted and provide great value. To date, more than
40,000 health professionals and educators have participated in Landmark’s programs.
Educational Methodology
The ideas and distinctions on which Landmark’s methodology is based are drawn from a rich
tradition of thinking and research that spans a number of disciplines such as philosophy,
anthropology, linguistics and cognitive science. Landmark continues to evolve and develop its
unique educational methodology. Similar to riding a bicycle, in Landmark’s programs individuals
learn by direct personal discovery. A moment occurs when a new ability is theirs. They become
confident in what they’ve learned, and the new ability is theirs forever.
The Landmark method is more like coaching than teaching; more like conversation than lecture.
While conventional education methods focus on content (adding facts, rules or skills to our
knowledge), the Landmark method deals with context—the framework(s) in which content can
exist.
